A riveting historical narrative of the heart-stopping events surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and the first work of history from mega-bestselling author Bill O'Reilly
The anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts one of the most dramatic stories in American history-how one gunshot changed the country forever. In the spring of 1865, the Civil War finally comes to an end after a series of incredibly bloody battles. President Abraham Lincoln's generous terms for Robert E. Lee's surrender are devised to fulfill Lincoln's dream of healing a divided nation, with the former Confederates allowed to reintegrate into American society. One man and his band of murderous accomplices, perhaps reaching into the highest ranks of the U.S. government, are not appeased.
In the midst of the patriotic celebrations in Washington, D.C., John Wilkes Booth-charismatic ladies' man and impenitent racist-murders Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theater. A furious manhunt ensues and Booth immediately becomes the country's most wanted fugitive. Lafayette C. Baker, a brilliant but enigmatic New York detective and former Union spy, unravels the string of clues leading to Booth, while federal forces track his accomplices. The thrilling chase ends in a fiery shootout and a series of court-ordered executions-including that of the first woman ever executed by the U.S. government, Mary Surratt. With an unforgettable cast of characters, vivid historical detail, and page-turning action, Killing Lincoln is history that reads like a thriller. |

| My husband and I both read Killing Lincoln and loved it. Couldn't put it down. A great way to learn history. It's almost as if you are there experiencing it first hand. However, my husband still thinks Washington was our greatest president of all time. |

| I love history and this book is one of the best I've ever read. This may sound morbid but I can't wait for Killing Kennedy! |

| I am a history buff. Your book really put it all together. You covered all the players in a dimension that to my knowledge hasn't been done before. Looking forward to the Kennedy book. |

| The book was sent fast! I really enjoyed reading it. I was surprised about the extent of the plans to destroy the government of the United States. Reading the book made me feel like I was there. It was interesting to get into the minds of the people of that time. It seems we are not any different some 150 years later. God bless the United States of America! President Lincoln was truly a great patriot, we need men like that in our government now! Thanks, Bil, for this book. |
